Abstract The choice of basic operating parameters for high-energy linear electron accelerators is analyzed. The length of the accelerator, the number of sections, the required power supply, and the cost of construction and operation are considered as functions of the electric field strength along the axis of the waveguide, the sections of which are supplied independently by radiofrequency sources. The minimum costs of accelerator construction and operation are independent of the final electron energy. It is shown that it is most desirable to use radio-frequency sources of highest possible power (greater than 20 megawatts) for supplying the accelerator section. Consideration is given to the problem of increasing the length of the useful part of the radiofrequency pulse.
